This was immediately followed by a major education visit to India, including 28 vice-chancellors to increase higher education partnerships.</p><p> </p><p>Programmes such as the UK China Partners in Education programme and the UK India Education Research Initiative bring long term international collaboration.</p><p> </p><p>Our international research is being enhanced through the Government’s Newton Fund, a £735 million UK investment matched by partner countries, linking our universities with researchers in 16 major emerging economies. Our Global Challenge Research Fund, £1.5 billion and Ross Fund, £1bn., support universities engaging in global challenges including health, agritech and water research.</p><p> </p><p>British universities have a world-class reputation for both education and research. Globally the UK has four universities in the top ten and ten in the top fifty in the QS rankings, a 10% share of the international student recruitment market, and 15.9% per cent of the world’s most highly-cited research articles.</p> answering member printed Baroness Neville-Rolfe question first answered 15/07/2016 13:57:05 answering member 4284 label Biography information for Baroness Neville-Rolfe
